HaydonKerk Motion Solutions has designed an advanced series of
drivers to efciently operate motors to their peak performance.
With several options to select from, we can help you set up a system that
will power-up any application.

Inaudible 20 khz chopping frequency
TTL compatible and optically isolated input signals
14 selectable microstep resolutions in decimal and binary
Current up to 5.5 A rms/phase
Automatic idle current reduction
4 5/16 x 4 x 1 1/8 (11.0 cm x 10.2 cm x 2.9 cm)

Drive DCM8028/DCM8055 Drive Features
HaydonKerk Motion Solutions High Performance Micro Stepping Chopper
Drives based on some of the most advanced technology in the world today. Provid-
ing a cost effective solution for production volume requirements, the small size allows
designers to use these Drives in limited space and they are also easily integrated with
other electronic systems. Design time is reduced because incorporating these Drives is
far simpler than developing a custom drive circuit. They are suitable for driving 2-phase
step motors (maximum current ratings of 2.8 A and 5.5 A rms per phase). These spe-
cially designed Drives deliver optimum performance throughout a greater speed range.
By using an advanced bipolar constant-current chopping technique, and a maximum
input voltage of 80 VDC, they can produce more speed and power from the same
motor, compared with traditional technologies such as L/R drives.
The DCM8028 and DCM8055 feature high performance, low cost,
compact size, mixed decay current control for less motor heating,
automatic idle-current reduction and micro step resolutions from
1/2 step to 1/256. There are fourteen micro step resolutions
selectable in decimal and binary. The output current levels and
micro step resolutions are easily set via the 8 bit DIP switch.
These Drives are suitable for 4, 6, and 8 lead motors.
Ideal for a wide range of stepping motors such as
low voltage linear motors, used in various kinds of
machines, such as X-Y tables, labeling machines, laser
cutters, engraving machines, and pick-place devices.
These Drives are particularly useful in motor
applications requiring low noise, low vibration,
high speed and high precision requirements.

Bipolar Chopper Drive #DCS4020
The Haydon DCS4020 Chopper Drive by HaydonKerk Motion Solutions delivers optimum performance throughout
a greater speed range. This new technology drive has been designed for easy set up and use. The Haydon DCS4020 is ideal for
development projects where a single power supply is all that is necessary to easily run the motor. The motor current is set using
an on-board potentiometer and no external current setting resistors are required.
The DCS4020 is also feature-packed. The Driver provides all the ba-
sic motor controls including full or half-stepping of bipolar steppers, directional
control, and output enable control. An oscillator circuit is standard on the drive
with an on-board speed control potentiometer. In addition, external input/out-
put signals allow complete remote control of all drive functions. All electrical
connectors have removable plugs incorporating screw type terminals.

A chopper drive is a power-effcient method of current driving a stepping motor to obtain higher stepping rates. Torque,
likewise, is maintained which otherwise would have diminished due to the effects of counter E.M.F. and increased coil impedance.
HaydonKerk Motion Solutions bipolar chopper drive (Part No. 40105) has been designed for easy set-up and use.
Just connect a single power supply and a motor and its ready to run! Motor current is set using an on-board potentiometer. No
external current setting resistors are required. This feature-packed drive provides all basic motor controls, including full or half
stepping of bipolar steppers and direction control. An oscillator circuit is standard on the drive with an on-board speed control
potentiometer. In addition, external input/output signals allow complete remote control of all drive functions.
The average input power rating of the motor must be adhered to, otherwise overheating will result. It is permissible to
operate at 2X rated current (4X power) utilizing a 25% duty cycle.

Whisper Drive #44103
A compact, microstepping drive for bipolar stepper motors that provides a cost effective
solution for production volumes. Its ease of integration and small physical size allows for
quick integration into your design.
The Whisper incorporates micro-stepping technology, a controller and runs off a
single power supply. With eight microsteps per full step, the Whisper can smooth
out cogging often associated with Can-stack steppers. The drive has a mixed
current decay mode for reduced resonance and improved microstepping.
Microstepping also reduces audible noise in the motor.
